Su-33 fails to land on carrier / Неудачная посадка Су-33 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xb5coT2nRAo I actually find this one most impressive. Just think about raw horsepower to pull the trick. If is was an F-18 there would be some spectacular crash video.

I have seen F-18’s at air shows and in practice do the same maneuver.

Geez, talk about high angle of attack. Impressive engines, both thrust and response time.
Be interesting to hear from a carrier pilot what went wrong, looked like he was doing fine until he suddenly went nose high. Good thing he did not catch the wire in that attitude!
